Families follow a Halloween-themed trail around the museum to uncover spooky surprises hidden among hundreds of iconic cars and motorcycles, including Lewis Hamilton’s Formula 1 Renault and the DeLorean. Children can get hands-on at interactive STEM stations, ride Little Tikes toy cars, or head to the outdoor motoring-themed playground. Indoor racing fun includes a Somerset-themed Scalextric track, RC racing, and coin-operated junior go-karts.
